I don't think it's dead, no. I'd like to see it happen.

My suggestion though is to wait until after New Year's. The weekends will be murder from now until then for just about everybody and getting into the city will be a minor nightmare for those who're coming from the surrounding area.

I suggest the first or second weekend in January. By then people are back to their routine, the tourists have gone home, and it will be easier to get reservations someplace for a group.

How are people with those weekends? Saturday or Sunday preferred?
